Isaiah 40:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 [a]Then the (A)glory of Yahweh will be revealed,
And (B)all flesh will see it together;
For the (C)mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
6 A voice says, “Call out.”
Then [b]he answered, “What shall I call out?”
(D)All flesh is grass, and all its lovingkindness is like the flower of the field.
7 The (E)grass [c]withers, the flower fades,
[d]When the (F)breath of Yahweh blows upon it;
Surely the people are grass.
